The instructor of the waist pack workshop is patient enough to explain but diligent to keep the class at good pace. She is knowledgeable and bilingual which is great!

I enjoyed and learned a looot, I have never used a sewing machine before and now I’m confident I can start bigger projects.

The mile ex location is clean, pretty and cozy. They offer you shoes and crocs upon arrival, coffee, tea and water is always available.

I will come back for more!

J’ai apprécié de revoir le fonctionnement de la machine, pouvoir me sentir plus autonome. Pouvoir pratiquer la couture de manière encadrée une deuxième fois avant de me lancer seule. J’ai aimé la possibilité d’avoir des tissus de plusieurs couleurs et de les mélanger.

La prof est très sympa, tout comme le produit fini. Partir de zéro et ressortir 3hrs plus tard avec mon sac! C’était vraiment génial.

Tout était parfait. La super énergie d’Ann-Sophie, l’ambiance, le patron du sac, les explications claires. Merci
